As previously notified on 27th March 2019, the iiNet Group (iiNet Ltd, Westnet Pty Ltd, Internode Pty Ltd, TransACT Capital Communications Pty Ltd and Adam Internet Pty Ltd) is currently working to manage the impact to its network that has occurred as a result of extreme weather cause by Tropical Cyclone Trevor to the Peninsula District and parts of the North Tropical Coast and Tablelands, Northern Goldfields and Upper Flinders, and Gulf Country Districts of Queensland on or about Monday 18 March 2019 through to Friday 22 March 2019
Tropical Cyclone Trevor has caused notable damage to the network, rendering some services faulty, as referred to in Telstra Wholesales Mass Service Disruption Notification which can be found https://www.telstra.com.au/consumer-advice/customer-service/mass-service-disruption/. A copy of this notice will also be published in the Brisbane Courier Mail on 23/04/2019.
The iiNet Group is working closely with suppliers and wholesalers to assess and repair the damage to affected services in a timely manner. Customers in these regions may experience service disruptions and delays to normal connection times and fault restoration. The impact in the affected region has been greater than initially estimated and as a consequence of the area of damage, the expected date for resumption of normal service operations has been extended to 12th May 2019.
As these circumstances are outside the iiNet Group’s control, iiNet is claiming an exemption under Section 21 of the Telecommunications (Customer Service Guarantee) Standard 2011 from the normal performance standards. The exemption shall apply from 20 March 2019 to 12 May 2019 inclusive. This date is indicative only; customers should anticipate that some further delays may occur.
